Design Consultation

Our experienced and professional Designer Consultant will come to your house to meet with you. While there they will assess your backyard and take measurements to make an accurate design. They will discuss design options and incorporate your ideas.

2D and 3D Design

Every homeowner will receive a 2-D/3-D computer generated design before we begin construction.  The renderings allow you to see all the elements of your pool design as they integrate to your home and backyard. At this stage, you can make revisions and improvements as necessary. Upon approval of your design, we use this layout to create detailed engineering drawings and we begin the layout process.

Materials Selection

Once a design has been approved, we partner with NPT Design center and a representative will meet with you at the Design Location. Here you can see samples of tile, plaster, decking and stone and choose the ones that will work best with your pool.

Layout/Construction Begins

This next stage is the first in the construction of your Wild West Custom Pool. Here, we lay it out onto the proposed site area. This provides the opportunity to see the layout of the actual size and shape of the pool. Here we can make tweaks to the size and location of the pool before we break ground with excavation.

Excavation

Once we pass layout inspection, we proceed on to excavation. We will remove the grass and underlying soil to the correct depths for your custom swimming pool.

Steel and Forming

We use #4 steel reinforcement while forming your pool to prepare for gunite. It is used to form the shape and structure of your pool and provide strength and integrity to the structure.

Plumbing and Electrical

Before the gunite process, we install all the plumbing and electrical components. We ensure that the plumbing is pressure tested and the electrical meets the necessary city and state codes.

Gunite Application

We use a mixture of gunite that is free from Alkali-silica reaction (ASR). Our gunite application subcontractor uses a tested mix of gunite to ensure your pool is made from a structurally appropriate mixture. Their team applies the gunite using high-pressure hoses to create the tough inner shell of your new pool. We exceed industry standards by creating 12 inch walls. As the gunite is applied to the pool structure, you will get an idea of what the final pool will be.

Tile and Coping

You will see your design center selections come to life as our artisans install the pool tile and coping. We use higher end finishes to ensure your swimming pool lasts for years to come.

Masonry and Stone

Our masons have a tremendous amount of pride in their craft. We have options for travertine, limestone, luedersstone and many other options.

Decking

This is the area around the pool. There are many surfaces that are implemented here based on your design from the standard acrylic material to custom stone or stained and stamped concrete. During this phase, we create any features you selected in your design, such as; outdoor fireplaces, firepits, fountains, summer kitchens, pergolas, etc.

Plaster

We use quality plaster and standardize on a mini pebble for all our builds. This ensures you will have many years of use from the pool before any major renovations are needed. The plaster is applied to the gunite and requires an experienced crew to smooth the surface to assure a beautiful finish. Then, the pool is immediately filled with water. The next 2 weeks requires the homeowners to thoroughly “brush” the pool twice a day to ensure the smoothest surface possible. This step is essential and must be completed to ensure you have a full plaster warranty from our sub contractor.

Start up Maintenance and Chemicals

Often a first-time pool owner will feel overwhelmed by the process of having a pool. The initial start-up and maintenance of the pool is essential to maintaining your plaster warranty. We provide our homeowner with the necessary training on how to use the controls of the pool equipment. In addition, we provide 30 days of complementary start up care. We will add initial chemicals and monitor the chemicals to ensure a proper startup.
